The Avengers: Infinity War (2018) Trailer Reaction

After nearly twenty movies following every other superhero in the Marvel catalogue, the fight between good and evil all comes to a head with The Avengers: Infinity War. Earth's mightiest heroes unite to fight against Thanos, a superbeing causing destruction throughout the galaxies on the hunt for the Infinity Stones. Hype has been building for this galactic movie since Comic Con this year, and why not - it's filled with every actor of the Marvel Cinematic Universe all kicking butt and taking names.

Hold onto your Spidey-senses as we get straight into the new trailer! SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT

I don't know about you but this is one heck of trailer the studios have been taunting us since the dawn of time. Does it disappoint or excite you guys?
We have to talk about the feels that explode with the new and older Avengers, how far all of them have come so far, and that mindboggingly all of the movies so far come together.

In the beginning of the trailer, Nick Fury's initial intention is echoed by the original castmates: The idea was to bring together a group of of remarkable people to see if they could become something more. To see if they could work together when we needed them to, to fight the battles that we never could. Taking us back to the first Avengers film from 2008, the team players Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Hulk, Thor, and Hawkeye struggled, and then successfully, worked together to end Loki's plan for domination.

Then, Avengers: Age of Ultron played with the idea of who the superheros were beyond what the world needed them. While some like Thor and The Hulk disappeared off the battlefield, others continued to carry on missions as best as possible. Until Captain America: Civil War, the group was driven into opposite sides of a new issue. In Captain America's last standalone film, the U.N. wanted them to sign an accord that controlled their missions or marked them as vigilantes if they stepped out of line. Iron Man, Roadie, Black Widow, Spiderman, Vision, and T'Challa faced off against Captain America, Bucky, Ant-Man, Scarlett Witch, Hawkeye, and Falcon.

Which brings us barely to Infinity War because I'm barely scratching the surface here. Thanos and all of the relationships between the superheros has been developing throughout the Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor trilogies, the Avengers and Guardians movies, Doctor Strange, Spiderman Homecoming, the upcoming Black Panther. *phew* The list of all of the appearances in part one of this two-part battle is long, not to mention the fact that we could end up losing a few before the to-be-titled part two kicks in. So to say this one is huge is an UNDERSTATEMENT.

Right now, the battlefield takes place in at least two places on Earth - NYC Wakanda, and other planets, once again dividing the superheroes again, but this time around, all of them are battling the same cause. If Thanos succeeds in gathering all of the Infinity Stones (Mind, Time, Soul, Reality, Power and Space), he will be all-powerful and can control every aspect of the universe. This is something that's going to need all hands and superpowers on deck to win.

As for this film's villain, he's been threaded throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but this is the first time where he is the center of the story. Meaning, there's so many easter eggs to go through, it'd be impossible to cover them all here (but io9 has us covered). Can anyone say a marathon of the entire series is on the way to refresh our memories? I'm totally on board for that.

The trailer itself has some super big mega awesome moments! Shall we count them down?

1:02 - Tony looks to have replaced his Arc Reactor despite removing all of the schrapnel and not wearing it in Homecoming or Iron Man 3. What happens to Stark that makes him wear it again?1: 07 - Loki might or might not be walking over an Asgard's body, but he's definitely handing over the Tesseract1:24 - "Evacuate the city.
